Lucinda Holman IBCLC – Birth doula, Lactation Consultant, Postpartum Doula

The initiation from maiden to mother is an important rite of passage and one made more confidently with love, care and skilled support.

 I’m Lucinda, mum, wife, doula and lactation consultant.

I’ve been working with new families in Dorset for over 15 years, helping to ease the transition into the wonderful (and often daunting) world of parenting, as gently and holistically as possible.
This work is my calling and gives me immense joy to be of service in this way.

This is your birth and your baby and your needs and wishes are what’s important. Exploring your options with evidence-based information, can really help you make choices that feel right for you.

As your birth doula, my job is to be alongside you during your pregnancy, prepare you for breastfeeding, support you emotionally, physically and spiritually as needed, and be a trusted support, beside you for your birth and that precious time just after birth to help get the breastfeeding off to a solid start. 

As your postpartum doula I will support you during this tender time for as long as you feel you need it. Light household jobs, making you drinks and snacks or meal prep, watching baby while you nap or running the hoover over, I’m there with a listening ear and practical tips, helping out in ways that make a big difference.

My lactation consultant qualification means I will help you to meet your breastfeeding goals; be it one hour, one day or one year.
You will have access to the gold standard in breastfeeding support with the most up to date specialist knowledge and practical tips and techniques honed from years of service.
If there are feeding issues, I aim to get to the heart of them quickly, by identifying any underlying issues and putting steps in place to manage and then resolve those issues in a timely manner.

My offerings:
• Comprehensive Birth & Breastfeeding preparation sessions
• Birth & Postpartum care packages
• In home Lactation Consultations
• Joint Baby Clinics with Cranial Chiropractor Anneli Hulkkonen at Back in Balance, Wimborne

I will surround you and support you with love, care and integrity at this very transformative time.

Please get in touch if you’d like to explore working together.

Warmest regards,

Lucinda x
